UNSC Tactical Simulator: Difference between revisions

The '''UNSC Tactical Simulator''', or '''TACSIM''', is a computer program used for the training of the [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Unlike the [[War Games]] training in the ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s advanced combat deck, the Tactical Simulator is a smaller-scale program that functions on [[data pad]]s.<ref name="umbra"/> As opposed to having the users engage in direct, fully simulated combat, the TACSIM employs more abstract mechanics, producing either fully hypothetical scenarios or recreations of historical battles with users assuming the role of soldiers who participated in those engagements. An example of the latter is the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], in which users alternate between the roles of Spartans [[Edward Davis]] and [[Sarah Palmer]]. The simulator also contains a [[Flood Missions|mode]] designed to train Spartans to combat the [[Flood]] should the parasite reappear as a threat.<ref name="hsa">'''Halo: Spartan Assault'''</ref>

The Tactical Simulator acts as the fictional framing device for ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''.<ref name="hsa"/>
